warning - 1 These instructions are not intended to be inclusive of all possible pipe and fitting types, nor are they intended to be comprehensive instructions for inexperienced installers. If you are not comfortable with an installation like this, please consult or hire a qualified plumber.
Instructions in this guide are based on a new installation, on copper pipe, with push-fit threaded adapters. The Smart Motorized Valve can be installed on CPVC or PEX pipe using the appropriate male NPT thread to compression or push-fit copper, CPVC or PEX adapters. YoLink recommends SharkBite brand fittings. Visit sharkbite.com or find additional information on our Smart Motorized Valve Support page.
Local plumbing/building codes may require a standard non-electric or non-motorized valve for the main water shut-off – do not replace a non-electric shut-off valve with this motorized valve without first consulting with the applicable code authorities. If installing this valve to shut off the main water line, we suggest installing this adjacent to the (non-electric) shut-off valve.
Please use care when working with cutting and other tools than can cause bodily harm if not used properly!

J. Factory Reset

Factory reset will erase device settings and restore it to factory default settings. Doing a factory reset will not remove the device from your account and it will not harm the device, or lose any data or require you to redo your automations, etc.

Instructions:
Hold the SET button down for 20-30 seconds, until the LED blinks red and green alternately.
Then, release the button. (Holding the button down longer than 30 seconds will abort the factory reset operation)

Factory reset will be complete when the LED stops blinking.

Only deleting a device from the app will remove it from your account. Factory reset will not delete the device from the app.

K. Firmware Update

Your YoLink products are constantly being improved, with new features added. It is periodically necessary to make changes to your device’s firmware. For optimal performance of your system, and to give you access to all available features for your devices, these
firmware updates should be installed when they become available.
In the Detail screen of each device, at the bottom, you will see the Firmware section, as shown in the image below. A firmware update is available for your device if it says “#### ready now”
Tap in this area to start the update.
The device will update automatically, indicating progress by percentage-complete. You may use your device during the update, as the update is performed “in the background”. The LED will slowly blink green during the update, and the update may continue for several minutes beyond the LED turning off.

L. Troubleshooting

Function:

  1. Device is offline
    – If switch is not connected to the cloud, press the POWER button on switch once
    – If Hub is offline, reconnect the Hub to the Inte rnet and press the PowER button on switch once
    – If Hub is not on, power on the Hub again and press the POWER button on switch once
    – If switch is out of range with Hub, relocating the Hub may be required
    – If switch is not turned on, turn on the device
  2. Timer does not run
    – Power outages (before or during) can prevent the timer from executing. Press the power button once to turn on/off the switch, also you can turn on/off the switch via YoLink app or set a new timer. (When you add a resetting/one-time-use timer this will
    need to be amended with that new information.)
  3. If this does not resolve the issue, please contact our customer support department (see the contact info on the last page of this guide).

We recommend checking for and performing any available firmware updates before contacting customer support.
